Republians Claim Obama's a Marxist

The Republicans are good anti-Marxists. They’re so busy shipping the
means of production overseas that workers can’t possibly seize it.

I worked with Karl Marx; I knew Karl Marx; Karl Marx was a friend of mine. Senator Obama, you're no Karl Marx.

What next? Are they going to accuse Obama of being Chinese? That's about equally credible...

My understanding is that Obama is by and large pro-globalization.

The right has been labelling Obama all sorts of things. In this piece of agitprop, the young guy doing his best Don LaFontaine impression (to hilarious effect) and to the accompaniment of a techno soundtrack ala The Matrix, concludes that Obama is a racist, marxist, quasi-christian, and anti-semitic. The 13 minute video also implies more.

Thanks to my friend Sonya for the link.
